We have heard countless stories from local folks, maybe even from our own parents and grandparents, that plants respond to music or sound. Some of you might have experienced this yourself. There are videos that show this. One early work that I had watched is The Secret Life of Plants  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAR_B0mBoVA&feature=related.

One recent article find on the subject is from  https://www.musicforyourplants.com/. Topics below are in that article:

How do plants respond to music, sound frequencies or harmonic sound waves

The Effects of Variable Sound Frequencies on Plant Growth and Development

Experiments from India shows increase in yield of Rice 

Vedic music from India to Harmonize the Environment and increase Rice Yields 

French Physicist discovered music, plant and protein biosynthesis relation

They are of great interest to one who wants to further improve crop performance, or who simply wants know if indeed there is a science to talking or singing/playing music to plants. Some researchers or enthusiasts have recorded the sound that plants make and are intrigued by this phenomenon (for example-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZaokNmQ4eY&feature=related).

Sound from the plant and sound to the plant… that is resonance at play. Then there is this other interesting phenomenon… the effect of sound of animals like birds, insects and frogs on plant physiology.https://www.newphysis.com/dawnchorus.html. Gadgets like the sonic bloom are being offered to enhance the effect (https://www.relfe.com/sonic_bloom.html). Quantumizing agriculture thus includes utilizing sound and promoting biodiversity so plants (and animals) grow better.

The Science behind sound effect on living organisms and in agriculture is well presented in the article “The effects of sound on living organisms. Applications in agriculture” written by Yannick Van Doorne, ECOSONIC.

Here is another article that might be of interest and which lends credence to the science of sound and its effect on plants- “French Physicist Creates New Melodies – Plant Songs” .

An here is a blog that I encountered reposting effect of sound in different plants and seeds, esp on dandelion:

In the Philippines I have been recently introduced to John Lesaca (https://www.johnlesaca.com/ ). He is a violinist who uses classical music to stimulate the growth of his organic veggies on his farm in Malvar, Batangas. He uses music to enhance the growth not only of his veggies but also of his free range chicken in his commercial farm.

New science or that which resides beyond matter and subtler than magnets, electromagnets and other known forces, is now for our grabbing; formerly only very few know about them. Great challenges that confront us can no longer be effectively solved by old approaches, no matter how hard we try. We don’t have the luxury of time. Earth is nearing its “tipping point”. We have ran out of solutions to address global, societal, health concerns, and we are merely doing treadmill approaches in solving our problems. We need to do something that is truly effective, strategic or has wide and deep impact, is fast-acting, and multidimensional in effect, BUT so simple and uses or takes so little. In short, we need to do a quantum leap; we need to harness the power of the small and the invisible. Quantum is now used in generic terms, to refer to something extraordinarily small, invisible, undiscernable to many, but contains so much power to form or to destroy. In physics it is about that which lies beyond matter, inside the atoms, and which is attuned to that which is in the cosmos. In other sciences, it is about the formative fields and organizing forces.
